My fur babies had such a great experience! She was incredibly attentive and made sure I stayed updated the whole time with pictures and check-ins. I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!

Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!

There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!

I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!

I knew that Lauren was going to be Tinkers sitter shortly after speaking with her. Not only does she pet sit, but her job is working with animals as well. So I knew Tinker would be in good hands. If Lauren will have us, we’ll be asking her again next time we go somewhere. Thank you again, Lauren

About: I love all animals. I lost my bull mastif/lab mix, Honey Bear, in February 2018. She was 12 1/2 yo. As well as my tabby, Eli, who was 19y/o, in March 2020. I am not ready for a new pupor kitten, so I thought this would provide an avenue to express my love for animals as well as help others. One of my favorites is dog walking. Because I work from home I am able to invest more outdoor activities for your furbabies. I do not have a fenced yard, however I am close to areas that can accomodate. I am very attentive and experienced to handling larger dog breeds and cats. If you are looking for someome that will love your pets as her own, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

My two Chihuahuas are…a lot. They bark nonstop and basically refuse to go outside, but Lyndsay handled them with so much patience. She really tried everything to help them feel comfortable and kept me updated the whole time. I appreciate how hard she worked with my difficult little gremlins and would happily book her again.

About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. I've lived with Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers and pet most every pup I see with permission, of course. I would love to visit with the dogs if my community. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.

Jenn has been wonderful both times I've used her help! Super responsive and tentative. My older pup has had a hard time in boarding with the stress and he was so happy when we got back from his first over night at home alone. We will definitely continue to reach out to her as things come up. Thanks Jenn!

Savannah was awesome! I got ants in my cat food the day before leaving for vacation and she was game to follow my admittedly strange instructions on how to keep ants out of the cat food. She sends great pictures and updates. She's definitely a person to trust with your pets while you're away! 10/10 😊

I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!
